Posted by Dawn | September 13, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Without a doubt!

My divorce case had been dragging on for over two years. With no apparent end in sight I was so frustrated. Linda came highly recommended by one of her past clients. She agreed to see me and after a consultation I hired her on the spot! Linda is very knowledgeable and experienced. She thoroughly expl...ained everything that needed to be done to finalize my situation. Linda is compassionate, confident and down-to-earth. I highly recommend Linda as an Attorney.

I highly recommend Linda as an attorney

My support case had been going on for 6 years, for reasons I will not go into. We hired Linda because she came highly recommended. She is so efficient, knowlegable and extremely effective. The first and only time she represented me in court she closed down my case in 30 mins. She is also very down t...o earth and likable. I highly recommend her as an attorney.

Linda is a Good Lawyer

Ms. Cianciolo helped with me my divorce in 1995/1996 and recently 2011 helped with a custody issue. She charged a fair rate for her services and took the time to answer all my questions. I cannot say enough good things about Ms. Cianciolo.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
